Three City Treasure….

Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada are indeed the “treasures of Spain”

Narrow, shady streets with geranium covered balconies and green terraces of olive trees that shimmer under the Mediterranean sun. We travel across rolling hills that are ideal for cycling, exploring a countryside dotted with white-washed villages. This tour travels through three major cities of Spain; Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada. Their ancient cultures create a magical quality of life that beckons you to a slower rhythm and summons the Gypsy in all of us.

If you’ve never been to Spain, join us on this tour and discover the treasures of Andalusia!
